down and bade farewell to the earth.

The stranger admitted that he had

Even if protective duties could be
regarded as takes" at all, which
they cannot, they would be in no
sense "war taxes" as the protective

the Democrats who have howled for
twenty years about "war taxes" and
still howl, oppose the abolition of all
or part of the internal revenue i'm
posts, which are in every sense taxes
and the only war takes now known

Gems for Thought.

Economy is great revenue.
Not every one who dances is glad.
1t is as natural to die as to be born.
The road is never long to a friends
house.
Busy lives, like busy waters are
generally pure.
We have all forgotten more than
we remember.
Labor disgraces no man, while man
disgraces labor.
The strongest men are often the
most tender-hearted.
Life is too short to be spent in
minding other peoples business.
Dishonesty. duplicity and falsity of
character are business mistakes.
A coxcomb is ugly all over with
the affection of the fine gentleman.
Men who live without religion live
always in tumultuary and restless
state.
He who buys has need of hun
bred eyes, and he who sells hath
enough of one.
A merchant should famiIiarize
himself with every line of goods
which he handles.
Merchandising represents the cold
logic of facts and figures, as shown in
purchases and sales.
Seasons of depression in trade are
generally followed by years of success
and prosperity.
Eagerness for enormous gains too
often defeats itself. Immense profits
involve immense risks.
Inclination never wants an excuse,
and, if one won't do, there are a
dozen others ready at hand.
Even reckoning makes lasting
friends, and the way to make reck-
onings even is to make them often.
A merchant, wholesale or retail,
who has a reputation for integrity,
attracts considerable custom by that
alone.
Frugal and industrious men are
friendly to the established govern
ment, as the idle and expensive are
dangerous.
Nothing is more common or more
fatal than the grasping of an adyant-
age at the cost of ten times its value,
General observations drawn from
particulars are the jewels of knowl.

Years of success in business are Of
ten followed by years of depression.
History repeats itself in trade as well
as in anything else.
Business, in the strict sense of the
term, does not admit of friendship;
yet. there are times when there
should be friendship in business.
Though reading and conversation
may furnish US with many ideas of
men and things, yet it is our own
meditation must form our judgment.
Truth is the object of our UNDER
standing, as good is of our will and
the understanding can no more be
lighted with lie than the will can
choose an apparent evil.
Ninety merchants out of one hum
dred owe their insolvency either to
having traded beyond their means or
to a careless management of their
affairs, or to criminal speculations.
If by dishonest act a man makes
some hundreds or some thousands of
dollars and furnishes his good name,
he discounts heavily his future gains,
and will generally end in being a
poor man.
